Seeking the fastest way to lose weight? Calorie cycling may be the way to go unless you want to consider the ridiculous and completely negative methods of becoming seriously ill or drug use.

Calorie cycling or calorie shifting is quickly becoming a respected weight loss method . Calorie shifting is a simple method that involves fooling the body into maintaining a high metabolism, high burn mode even when fewer calories are taken in. It’s been used for a long time by bodybuilders and athletes who have to hit weight without losing muscle. And it can work to shed pounds even if you don’t cut down on calories, which is even better.

How does it work? Every day eat at the same times, but vary the nutrients or calories consumed. It’s a very simple diet to follow because it’s a very well planned diet. Many on line sources include simple instructions and calorie shifting menus.

Now for a few cautions. Of course there are cautions. This diet is low in vegetables, fat and calcium. All of those are necessary to a healthy body. Next, calorie shifting is a diet originally meant for cases of extreme obesity where medical intervention is required. In such cases the diet would be administered under careful medical supervision. For home use, that doesn’t happen. Finally, calorie shifting diets are short term, quick loss diets. Like other such diets you’ll put the weight back on quickly if you go back to the regular eating habits, and most people do.

Moderation is required with diets as it is with most anything in life. Calorie shifting is fine for a short time, but shouldn’t extend beyond a few days. Also make sure it’s followed in conjunction with an overall healthy eating plan and an exercise plan. That way then the few days of calorie shifting is finished, the weight won’t return and return you to square one.
